THE FIRST ASSAULT ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL WAS GIVEN TO HIM YESTERDAY, AT 5:15 P.M., BY FRENCH AND FOREIGN JOURNALISTS

At number 4, avenue de l'Opéra, where, all day yesterday, Mr. Edouard Herriot was setting up his ministry, the French and foreign journalists who were waiting for the news grabbed the President of the Council as he passed by on his return from the Senate. This was the first assault on the head of government, who had to retreat before the wave of informers.
